Fourth World by John Byrne, a great companion to Orion by Walt Simonson, and one of the great successors to the Kirby books. I hope if they ever make the screen the original designs are adapted more faithfully. With the New Gods, the more color and variety the better.
I finished this one, recently (borrowed from a friend of mine). It's nice for a '79 story.

I read Ultimate Captain America, by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney and it was... fine. I liked what Aaron was aiming for at the beginning of the story, but towards the end, Captain America learns nothing, and I wanted this version of Steve Rogers to be able to change since he's kind of an asshole. Still, I had fun throughout the whole volume

I just read through knight fall/contagion/legacy/cataclysm/road to no man's land/ and I'm now on no man's land. Pretty awesome run of batman continuity. .
How are you liking this?
After his dreadful GLC mini series, a sampling of Injustice, and DCeased (blah) I'd written off Taylor for the most part. However his current Nightwing run is fantastic! Based on that I added his two Spidey trades to my Amazon wishlist but haven't pulled the trigger yet.
I've just started reading through the Green Lantern by Geoff Johns omnibus vol 1 really good so far.
